Horse Soldier Straight Bourbon
<p>Days after 9/11, the USA responded with a daring insertion of small teams of Green Berets mounted on horseback. These brave men are honored today by the America’s Response Monument at Ground Zero. Nicknamed the Horse Soldiers, these same men make the bottle you see with the image of this...www.abc.virginia.gov
I just found out why ya'll mix or ice your bourbon.
Went to get a bottle of Horse Soldier but they were sold out. as was Wodford's Reserve my go to when I cant get Pappy's or afford cognac..
Decided to try something different and grabbed a bottle of 1792. Wasnt too pricey, $30 or so. Cracked that evening and poured an nice shot. First impression was it was to hot, strong, I prefer something more akin to a cognac, smoother that rolls across your tongue, little bite. Then I remembered ya'll mentioning watering it a bit. Dropped a couple cubes of ice and it calmed it right down, very pleasant and recommended, a good value for the money and the old lady will like the bottle.

I use filtered softened water. The water has not taste.Seems like several on here really appreciate “Good” bourbon’s. I do too just not to the level of some.
When you take a good bourbon and put it on a cube of ice or open it up a little with water, what about the chlorine in public water systems or iron and minerals in well water?
Would using distilled or purified water be better? Or maybe even some of the bottled spring waters.
Seems a waste to cut an expensive bourbon with bs water and alter the taste
What do y’all do? Krw
I have that. One open and one spare. It's great, but not the be all, end all.It’s this or nothing
And if we had socialism you wouldnt need money, the state would pay for it.![]()
131 Stag jr .Bullshit, a small amount of water opens up the bourbon. Yea go drink 67% barrel proof bourbon straight.
While I certainly appreciate the shout out, there's nothing I can do here. Hider's are gonna Hider and do what they want regardless of how I feel about it. Ignorance and 6 Gay Tiger reigns.Where is @Soulezoo to unfuck this circle jerk?
You can just pour yours directly into a 2l bottle of Mexican Coke Zero.Ya, like I was going to have a drink but my eyedropper was in the dishwasher.
It's super nice if you can get it at msrp!Just got some McKenna 10 year, will see how it goes
I heard from a reliable source (Maser) that the world's ending next week. Better send me a couple of those bottles so they dont go to waste.I have 12 bottles put away for the end of the world………..
Not sure if Woodford, Bullett or Willet is considered expensive or not but I find that I like them straight up, on the rocks, with a splash, in an Old Fashion and in Coke. Only thing about a bottle of bourbon that I find distasteful is when it's empty.
Good read on small barrels:My George T Stagg was 144.8 proof I believe
George Stagg JR at 134.4
Bookers was 128
Neat, no water, no warm water to "open it up," no ice cube, no coke, no nothin.
You want poor mans bourbon go rum: I'd put these two, at least the bottles I had against any of my other high end bourbons or scotch.
Goslings Family Reserve old rum
Appleton Estate 21yr rum was good stuff as well.
I figured they'd be $300+ a bottle now, but they aren't, it's a miracle what some of this stuff has done in price
I paid $70 for that bottle of George T Stagg, it'd cost me near $3k today, the Stagg Jr seems to sell at $300 a bottle, the Yamazaki 18r Single Malt I had now runs $1200. Macallan 18yr cost me $180 and it isn't worth that, but is nuts now, paid $300 retail for a bottle of their rare cask, can only imagine what that stuff would go for now, Macallan ain't worth it, 20 yrs ago, sure.
Go sipping rum for realistic priced hooch, that Goslings is like $70 a bottle, that Appleton 21yr cost me $120, looks to be $160 today. Both will beat the bourbons or scotchs at those prices.
Ultimately I tossed all of it, don't drink and was tired of watching it collect dust, cigars have stuck with me, tried a tobacco pipe for a bit, another $200+ that was thrown in the trash, the constant going out got me, cigars just allow you to relax more.
All alcohol was drunk neat for me though.
I may pick up some of those 1L home bourbon barrels and throw some Buffalo Trace in them, they age 6.31yrs for every 1yr as compared to the normal barrels used by the manufacturers.
Some potential for some fun experimenting over a couple/few years.

Jeebus... $30k for a bottle of rye, huh? Kind of reminds me of back in the early 2000s when retards were gobbling up $500 bottles of vodka distilled with water from the fountain of youth and filtered 247 times.

For what it's worth, whiskey produced in warm climates ages much faster and less predictably than whiskeys produced in cold climates. This is why you'll see lots of 30+ year old Canadian and scotch whiskeys but very few bourbons and Japanese whiskeys of the same age. More time in the barrel means less production, higher production costs and more risk. As a general rule, whiskey properly distilled and aged for a long time in colder areas is going to produce a more refined product than whiskey properly distilled and aged for shorter periods in warmer climates. It will also be far more consistent, all other things being equal.
No bourbon or Japanese whiskey is worth more than $200. Outside of rye vs "standard" and cask finish decent bourbons are pretty similar. It's not like Scotch where a 40y speyside from Glenfarclas is wildly different than a 10y islay like Laphroig. The only reason why distillers are asking these ridiculous prices is because hipsters decided bourbon and jap whiskey is cool and they're willing to pay these premiums to impress their hipster friends.
I always have a bottle of the Knob Creek 9y on hand. It's a good, modestly priced bourbon available pretty much anywhere. I bet you'd like Brothers Bond at around $40 too. As far as cheap scotch goes, Monkey Shoulder is phenomenal for about $35. They're both light, simple and well executed bottles that make for great everyday sippers.Scotch has gone up so much in price it's getting ridiculous. A 15year or 18 year McCallans was my go to but it is getting ridiculous.
Went back to knob creek, instead of adding ice I just chill it. I've found chilling tames the bite and you get mostly flavor without watering it down.

I get the same shit for putting cream in good coffee. Few want to come to blows over it.My rant is for all those snobs who complain about other people putting ice ,water or soda in alcohol. I'm of the school that how ever you enjoy drinking it is what I'm for, I don't care what the stuff cost if I serve it and you want to put Bosco into a $300.00 glass of alcohol I'm more then happy that your enjoying it.
Its fucking alcohol and the sterno bum drinking night train gets just as fucked up as someone drinking Cristal , I know the sterno bum doesn't have access to ice when he drinks his night train so I guess he drinking it according to Hoyle.

I haven't bought a bottle from Macallan in a while for the same reason. If you like highland malts the Highland Park 15y Viking Heart is quite good at about a hundred bucks. It comes in a pretty cool looking ceramic bottle you can't miss on the shelves.
If you have access to a good PX or class six, Dalmore 15 is going for $89 right now. That stuff is really good, but I'm not going to pay the $145 it normally goes for around here.Scotch has gone up so much in price it's getting ridiculous.

The real cowboys know what’s good.
If you're going to drink TX this is the one to get.
I don’t care for it. They put crack or fentanyl or something in the blended.
